Study Notes

Intercultural Dialogue and Multiculturalism

  • In 2013, 47 countries recognized diversity as an enriching element of modern societies and presented the white paper "Living Together as Equals in Dignity", promoting intercultural dialogue and debate about multiculturalism and interculturalism.
  • Bolten's three-stage model of multiculturalism (2016) includes:
    • Multiculturalism I: societies that devalue other cultures, resulting in separation of cultural groups
    • Multiculturalism II: cultural groups coexist and live side by side
    • Interculturalism: the ultimate means of coexistence, where members hold each other in mutual respect and acknowledgment, promoting inclusion and collaboration
